Wireless Temperature Monitoring Systems – Things to Know

 

Anyone who has worked in a dairy farm facility understands the vital importance of temperature monitoring systems that ensure quality for testing and safety objectives. Anyone who has worked in a milk production facility that relies on manual temperature monitoring is aware of the challenges that can emerge out: it can be time-eating, in consistence, and high expenses. Varying temperatures can threaten milk integrity, forcing dairy businesses to replace any samples and products believed impracticable after being exposed to defective temperatures and thus leading to augmented costs. Moreover, chart recorders are challenging, with recurrent pen jams, lost charts, misplaced corrective action information required for supervisory inspections, and absence of remote alarming capability.

Dairy farms need to examine a range of physical parameters such as humidity, pressure, and air flow. All of these are necessary, but temperature is at the heart of these limitations. Accurate temperatures need to be maintained at all times to protect inventory and product integrity.

Wireless temperature monitoring systems submissively monitor temperatures in major points throughout the laboratory using a temperature probe fixed to a transmitter. A wireless receiver collects temperature readings from each location and reports the data to a local server or cloud-based network where the data can be stored and analyzed.

One of the most attractive advantages provided in wireless temperature monitoring systems is the capability to give a prompt alert when temperatures go beyond stated ranges. A large number of systems provide notifications via email or text messaging to help ensure the alert is received and addressed as soon as possible. Nonetheless, systems may ring alarm escalation functionality, meaning that if the first point of contact does not acknowledge the warning, a second individual can be notified.
